We currently have three research studies that are enrolling participants. Please see below for study information and contact us at spaclab@temple.edu for details.
Research Participants Needed for Multi-visit Hearing Study
The Temple University Speech Perception and Cognition (SPAC) Lab is inviting participants for a research study on how individuals understand speech in background noise. We are looking for participants:
- Adults aged between 18-35 or 60-85 and have normal hearing
- Speak English as their first language
What will I have to do?
The study involves tests of cognition and speech perception in noise, during which your eyes will be monitored by a camera. You will also receive a hearing test to determine if you qualify for the study.
How much time will it take?
The study takes 1-8 visits of 1-2 hours. We will schedule the visit at a time convenient for you. You will be paid $20 per visit plus $5 per extra half hour. You will also receive an extra completion bonus of $20 if you complete all study visits. You will be reimbursed $10 for transportation or parking.
Where will the study be held?
In the Speech Perception and Cognition Lab, Weiss Hall, 1701 N. 13th St., Philadelphia, PA 19122.
How can I find out more about the study?

Young Participants Needed for Speech Perception Study
The Temple University Speech Perception and Cognition Lab is inviting participants for a research study on how the ability to perceive pitch information may help individuals understand speech better in noise. We are looking for participants:
- Adults aged between 18-35 years old
- Have normal hearing
- Speak English as their first language
What will I have to do?
The study involves tests of pitch perception ability and speech perception in noise (during which your eyes will be monitored by a camera).
How much time will it take?
The study takes 1 visit of 2 hours. We will schedule the visit at a time convenient for you. You will be paid $10 per hour for your visit, or receive extra course credits if your instructor offers them. You will also receive a hearing test to determine if you qualify for the study.
Where will the study be held?
